This Memorial Field for 5th Group Means Everything - Here Is Why

Every Green Beret in 5th Special Forces Group knows exactly where they stand when they step onto Gabriel Field. It’s not just a training ground, it’s hallowed ground. Named for COL James L. “Nick” Gabriel Jr., who led from the front and gave his life in Vietnam, Gabriel Field stands as a living reminder of what it means to lead, sacrifice, and never quit.

From this field, generations of Green Berets have deployed into the world’s most dangerous places and returned to honor those who didn’t make it home. It’s where accountability isn’t spoken about, it’s lived. Every leader who walks across Gabriel Field understands that their legacy is tied to those who came before and those who will follow.

Fran Racioppi sat down with COL Gabe Szody and CSM Travis Esterby to talk about the meaning of Gabriel Field, how it shapes 5th Group’s culture, and why every name etched in its memorial is a call to uphold the standard. This is about leadership, ownership, and pride in the patch, the kind that’s earned, not given.
